Major General Sibert. the American commander, already Is occu pying himself wltU tts problem of houalm the American troops comfort . ably aJad warmly during the coming winter. Condition to France are rad ically different from, tiose in tne United t$tate, and the American com mander 1 devising ways and means of effecting a happy medium. The French homes In which the "Sammies" are billeted invariably are not heated, and in many cases during the cold season the horses of the farming folk and flocks of chlckenaare kept indoors. Furthermore, the Frenoh people allow for little or no ventllii tion. Sow Trench aad British Winter The ' French and British soldiers have found a way to keep themselves nappy In the winter months. They leep la the hay of the various build ings aad. in that way keep warm and at the same time furniaa themselves with enough air. 1 The Americans on the other hand, -desira better living conditions and in tend to do everything to achieve them. The plans as now contemplated pro Vide the construction of frame club buildings for each company of an American regiment, these places to af ford means for lounging, general rec reation and amusement. The bulld ; fngs are' to be well heated. It is believed the buildings wrll fur bish the desired solution. It is pointed i out that during 'the day the men will be "actively working and in this way will keep warm and healthy. The whole trouble will present itself when the -Sammies" are off duty, but lt is ' hoped that conditions will be satisfied by the erection of the frame struc tures. Morale of Troops Important Unpleasant quartering military offi V dais point out, leads to brooding with ! consequent low piritfl and an impair- - ment of morale. The troops, instead ; of : being thrown upon their own re ' sources In seeking diversion, could use the, club bouses unti; the bed hour. Then the provision of plenty of : blankets: would nakj for comfortable j sleeping. - The various American companies i have organised their baseball teams and games between these teams have been scheduled. The men are taking a keen, interest in the work of their com- - pany-organiaatlons and much rivalry j is displayed. 1 Mail from the United States s ar riving regularly and the quantities that are going out are very heavy.

Corvallls, Or., Aug. 1. Oregon bean growers will receive J6 a bushel for their crop, says Dr. MacPherson of the department of rural economics at O. A. C. This is the price accepted by the Michigan- Bean Growers' association, as reported In a letter just received by Dr. MacPherson from the president of that association. "The Michigan prices are usually accepted by the California and Colo rado associations," says Dr. MacPher son, "and are likely to be the ruling prices throughout the country." The bean acreage in Michigan is about 60 per cent above normal, but the output will be reduced to normal by bad weather, bean rot and bean maggot. It Is the opinion of bean job bers and farmers that the ruling price will be $6. Contracts for delivery as well as figures for September and October all indicate that the crop will be sold on a $6 basis. Oregon acreage was greatly increased this year, but dry weather is likely to reduce the yield.
